Ellen DevittThu, 29 Dec 2016 11:00:11 +0000http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=39075#comment-1125997Thank you so much for sharing this. Having lived in this area from 1949 when born until moving away in 1992. My husband and I had a shop In Amwell Street directly opposite St Marks church in Myddleton Square Olive would pop in shop and have a chat such a lovely warm lady. We went to some of her plays which were about life as it was. On a Sunday morning I would often see Olive and other ladies walking up after a service at St Peter and Paul's church . Can honestly say she was a lovely remarkable lady who had such a good sense of humour.Thank you so much for sharing this. Having lived in this area from 1949 when born until moving away in 1992.

miro capitaneoTue, 14 May 2013 08:54:56 +0000http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=39075#comment-109818Cara Olive, il tuo libro è bellissimo! Io vivo in Italia e l'ho scoperto a casa di mia figlia Alessia in Brixton. Lei vive da 8 anni in London ed ha conseguito la cittadinanza britannica recentemente. Ama London e scoprire le storie delle prime famiglie italiane a partire da metà '800 è veramente entusiasmante. Alessia è appassionata di commedie musicali e leggo che hai sciritto anche in questo campo. Dal calendario leggo che la Madonna del Carmelo sarà martedì 16 luglio: la Processione quando avverrà? Domenica 14 Luglio oppure domenica 21 luglio?
Ti ringrazio per l'attenzione e spero che Alessia possa incontrarti in un pubblico evento.

I don't remember you as was only a baby when we lived in the square, but my sisters remember you, they are Lindsey and Toni Willis. I would love to chat to you as Toni's daughter is getting married in Italy next year and I would love to visit the place where my great grandad (your grandad) Giovani Ferrari came from.
Lovely story, will definitely be reading your book.
Regards

My father Matteo Mansi organised St Antonio from the 1940's - 1970's
I walked in most of the processions myself as did all my family.
My cousins the Malongonie' s ran the Cafe in Leather Lane Emmy & Lally.
I was baptised by Fr Cupponcelli in 1946 and served on the alter under the rectorships of
Fr Cupponcelli
Fr Peter
Fr Fillipo
Fr Mario Morriconi
Fr Pucci
I have a professional film of the procession in1948 ( I think) commisioned by my father and filmed by Pathe.
